1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/

aimThe purpose of this study was to determine whether a semi-cylindrical beam spoiler (sCBS) developed herein effectively increases the skin dose in patients with early-stage glottic cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe measured the surface doses for 26 patients who used the sCBS during treatment of early-stage glottic cancer through a parallel-opposed lateral two-field 6 MV photon beam. Measurements were performed by attaching optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters to the left, right, anterior (in-field), inferior, and superior (out-field) sides of the patient.

resultsThe measured results were 81.8±2.1% (left), 81.0±1.7% (right), and 76.8±2.7% (anterior) in the in-field region compared to prescription doses, with 5.7±1.7% (superior) and 2.7±0.7% (inferior) in the out-field region.

conclusionsCBS can deliver a suitably ideal surface dose for treatment of early-stage glottic cancer.
